Big Sur

Idyllically perched upon the cliffs of California’s Big Sur, the award-winning Post Ranch Inn is a 5 star ranch-style hotel offering the ultimate romantic and secluded experience for its guests.

Part of the Passport Resorts family alongside Cavallo Point Lodge, the luxury retreat is built on the values of natural, sustainable design and a soulful guest experience, making it one of the best places in California to escape the hustle and bustle. With no televisions in the guest rooms, some of the most breathtaking views in California and a whole host of rejuvenating experiences on offer, couples are given the opportunity to truly connect. Luxury honeymoon packages can be arranged, which feature the likes of a champagne breakfast in bed, delectable four-course dinners at Sierra Mar and private couples’ massages. From the Ocean House to the Cliff House, the impressive accommodations feature wood-burning fireplaces and decks with awe-inspiring views. On a complimentary basis, all guests are welcome to enjoy a daily gourmet buffet breakfast, yoga sessions, stargazing experiences and guided nature walks as part of their stay.

Dining encompasses exquisite cuisine at Sierra Mar, where guests can bask in the glorious views over the Pacific Ocean. The accompanying wine is sourced from the hotel’s award-winning cellar, which features over 14,000 bottles and 2,600 hand-picked selections. Relaxation comes in the form of indulgent private deck massages and leisurely afternoons spent in the Jade and Meditation infinity spa pools, overlooking the ocean horizon. Those wishing to explore beyond the sanctuary of Post Ranch Inn on their luxury California holiday can enjoy the use of a complimentary shuttle around the Big Sur area or a premium Lexus vehicle; Carmel, Monterey and Pebble Beach are all only approximately an hour’s drive away. Whilst charming Carmel and Monterey are great for fine dining experiences and shopping, Pebble Beach is the ideal location for golf aficionados thanks to its renowned Pebble Beach Golf Links course – the most famous in Western USA.

      Best hotel in the world for design

      Perched upon the rugged coastline of Big Sur, Post Ranch Inn perfectly encapsulates the dramatic beauty of its surroundings. With its organic curved facades and floor-length windows looking out over the Pacific Ocean, it's no wonder that this outstanding hotel has been awarded Best Hotel in the World for Design in the Condé Nast Traveller UK Readers' Awards for 2016. The 5 star retreat was designed by modernist architect Mickey Muenning, who has always been drawn to the principles of organic architecture.
